The default ruling for names is permissibility unless there is a -based impediment. The word "Luzayn" does not have a correct translation in the Arabic language with this pronunciation. If we trace the origin of the word to "al-lazn," it indicates narrowness and lack of spaciousness. A Muslim in Arab countries should name their children with well-known Arabic names, seeking good omens from their beautiful meanings, connecting the children to the Arabic language, and showing pride in it, while avoiding imitation of non-Muslims.
